Manuscript Submission
First Steps
Before the actual submission of a manuscript to the Editorial Support for peer-review, you are kindly requested:
- to study the General Terms and the Service Charges for this journal,
- to study the Manuscript Preparation for this journal,
- to agree and obey the General Obligations for Authors,
- to register the manuscript in order to receive a link for uploading the manuscript files into the Copernicus Office Editor. The registration also defines the manuscript subject areas and index terms as the basis for the editor assignment.
File Submission for Review Process
After the manuscript registration, you are kindly asked to upload those files which are necessary for the peer-review process. These are at least:
- The abstract (title, authors, affiliations, abstract text, sample
) as *.pdf file; - The complete manuscript (abstract, text, tables, figures) as *.pdf file.
Other possible review files are:
- Any supplementary material (if available) as *.zip archive or single *.pdf file;
- The author's response, in case of "minor" or "major" revisions requested by the editor, as a separate *.pdf file. It should include a point-by-point response to the reviews and other relevant comments (this can be copied from the Interactive Public Discussion) and a list of all relevant changes made in the manuscript.
File Submission for Production Process
After the acceptance of a manuscript, you will be informed by email and are kindly asked to complete the file upload for the publication production process. Then, please submit the following files:
- The actual text followed by the table(s) and figure caption(s) prepared in the way as outlined in the Manuscript Preparation as one file in LaTeX (as *.tex file) or MS WORD format (as *.doc file);
- All figures, numbered e.g. f01, f02, ..., f11, f01a, f01b, and prepared in the way as outlined in the Manuscript Preparation, as one *.zip archive (or other compressed formats). Possible figure formats are *.pdf, *.ps, *.eps, *.jpg, *.png, *.tif, and *.gif.
